The most prominent symptom of esophageal varicose bleeding is vomiting blood, which often occurs suddenly, with fresh blood gushing out and even in the form of a spurt. Therefore, in acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding, if the patient suddenly goes into shock, it is often clinically caused by esophageal variceal bleeding due to portal hypertension. If the patient has a history of hepatitis, schistosomiasis or chronic alcoholism, and physical examination reveals spider angiomas, distended abdominal wall veins, splenomegaly or even ascites, and liver function tests are abnormal, it often indicates cirrhosis and portal hypertension.
